Chapter 280: Finishing September Night Rain!
30 seconds on the countdown!
Boom!
A flash of lightning flitted across in the sky once more. In the sky above the forest with pouring rain, a beetle smaller than the size of a fingernail had already flown high up!
The other Elite Scout Beetle, whose level had reached 29, was following closely beside Feng Luo. Besides them, four tiny crystal-looking, pure-white beetles that had never been deployed before had appeared on Feng Luo at that moment!
The monster corpses on this island were actually quite plentiful—in the time leading up to today, he had hatched quite a few new beetles. He was prepared to give this battle his all.
Five seconds on the battle countdown!
Feng Luo held in his hands a sniper rifle, the surface of which looked as if it was concealing bits of thunder. But without any light reflection from this environment, his vision going into an empty hole!
Four, three, two, one!
Boom!
In the sky, an outstandingly bright bolt of lightning struck once more, as if this were the system’s intention.
Ping!
Tch!
Dadada...
The moment the lightning disappeared, the noises of gunshots and the clashing of alloy longswords and flying skills sounded simultaneously! The sound of the surrounding rain was all but drowned out!
Pai!
Hiding behind a huge tree, September Night Rain put up a shield at the last second. But the next second, the shield jerked violently, and its defense coefficient fell by less than a quarter as a sniper bullet swirling with bluish-white electricity struck the transparent shield precisely in front of the center of his forehead.
“Damn it!” His face changed greatly. “He’s actually found me already?”
September Night Rain was shocked. He had run into the forest before Feng Luo and had immediately hidden in the bushes below a tree. In order to prevent the light of his energy shield from exposing his position, he had delayed putting it up until the last second. But the opponent had opened fire at practically the same instant—this definitely could only be done long after his position was discovered!
Although he was shocked, September Night Rain did not panic too much and instantly circled behind a tree in the opposite direction of where the bullet had come from, since his shield was still on him!
At the same time, he waved the Energy staff in his right hand, and a faint green-colored Windblade instantly flew in the direction of the opponent’s gun! His left hand silently tossed something toward the ground in front of Feng Luo.
Pai!
The faint green Windblade flew at an extremely high speed, cutting the falling raindrops along the way. However, it missed!
After firing, Feng Luo had already repositioned himself two steps to the side; the Windblade brushed past his shoulder in the blink of an eye!
But the object which September Night Rain had tossed exploded violently once it landed on the ground.
Pai!
The forest erupted in an enormous beam of white light in an instant! The instantaneous white light was enough to cause everyone in the darkness of this area to lose their sight for five to 10 seconds!
Also, there were objects like dots of light within the white light. Those dots flew onto Feng Luo’s combat uniform, instantly becoming as bright as fluorescent light!
“Luckily, I’ve long prepared for this situation!” said September Night Rain. “To root for them previously, I spent 100,000 credits at the Huan Yu Company’s auction to get this B-grade consumable. Though I’ve lost a bit, its effect isn’t bad. Other than a light-flashing effect, it also has a tagging use. It just has to stick to a body or on one’s clothes, and the body heat produced will be able to make it glow. Then you wouldn’t be able to hide your position in the dark! And these five seconds are enough for my rarest single skill to be unleashed!”
September Night Rain, initially hiding, instantly stood up straight. The Level-50 Rare staff in his hand had already accumulated an intense, faint green energy.
Poof!
However, at that moment, the energy shield on him—which had been left with not even a quarter of its defense remaining—suddenly jerked, then completely shattered!
“What?!”
September Night Rain’s breath caught in his throat. In the light radiating from the Energy staff in his hand, he saw a creepy black silhouette of about 70 centimeters tall jumping toward his chest!
“Damn it! Why would there be monsters here?!”
This surprising situation caused his facial expression to drop! The next moment, after breaking the pathetic remnant of September Night Rain’s Energy Shield, this Elite Bladed Beetle slashed at his chest with its huge, hook-like claws!
−1123
A Manipulator’s lack of immediate physical defense was even worse than that of Snipers. Thus, they were even more vulnerable against high-attack Elite monsters at close range. Despite September Night Rain’s outstandingly luxurious equipment, it would still be impossible to defend very much against this Elite Bladed Beetle—already at Level 37!
Moreover, there was not just one Bladed Beetle around him. Behind him and beside him were four or five black silhouettes, all already entering a less than seven-meter radius around him. The pouring rain and thunder had obscured the sounds of their movement. Furthermore, no matter alert how September Night Rain was, he wouldn’t have been able to conceive that in the process of battling Feng Luo, there would actually be a horde of “monsters” helping the opponent to attack him. This was too illogical!
Ping!
−2512
Just as September Night Rain’s expression changed greatly—and as he was deciding whether to throw this skill of his, which he was about to complete, toward Feng Luo or toward this suddenly appearing damn monster—a bullet with a faint blue glow had suddenly hit his chest. After breaking the defense of the energy cloak, the immense power of the energy armor-breaking bullet had caused a more than 2,500 lethal damage coefficient to appear above September Night Rain’s head!
The consequence of the appearance of a “lethal damage” naturally cut down the skill that was in the middle of being unleashed. This utterly confused September Night Rain.
“How’s it possible?! You didn’t get blinded!”
This shot had actually been fired by Feng Luo. And after this shot, the other five Normal Bladed Beetles had already jumped up high from the ground, waving their huge, hook-like claws, all slashing toward September Night Rain!
−450
−433
The huge claws of the first two Bladed Beetles had already attacked his body. These Bladed Beetles were of Normal grade, which was not considerably high, and the damage they caused was not high because September Night Rain wore a full set of quality equipment. However, September Night Rain would definitely be finished off with the addition of all the six Elite-grade Beetles coming for him!
Because every part of a Bladed Beetle’s body could be used as a weapon, its attack rate far exceeded that of a typical creature!
“Damn it!” Seeing this situation, September Night Rain cursed loudly in a rage.
However, he had not completely given up on resisting. The Energy staff in his hand glowed once more, though now with a faint red color.
Boom!
A ring of ferocious flames as tall as a person spread rapidly in all directions from below his feet. The heat from the flames evaporated the rainwater from the surroundings.
It was the Fire Manipulator Level-35 skill, “Ring of Fire”!
How could a Wind Manipulator use the Ring of Fire move? In other situations, this certainly would have been strange, but Feng Luo was not shocked at all by this. It was simple. If Feng Luo had a Scout second profession, why would September Night Rain, who had similarly completed the Hidden Mission, have only one profession?
As for why September Night Rain had never used fire skills previously—other than because his skill power was weak due to his low Manipulator familiarity—it was clearly because the power of a Fire Manipulator’s skills would be reduced by at least five times in this type of weather!
The reason for September Night Rain finally switching his Profession Chip at the last minute and using a fire-based move was naturally also very simple. Other than to push away the five Bladed Beetles lunging at him, it was also in the hope of interfering with the Sniper’s vision by using the intense light of the Ring of Fire.
However, even this surprising secret weapon couldn’t interfere with Feng Luo’s vision. How could a mere counterfeit fire skill be effective against him?
Ping!
Just when September Night Rain used the “Ring of Fire” and was attempting to run backward to flee, the Eye of the Thunder in Feng Luo’s hands sounded once again, and an energy armor-breaking bullet hit his back!
−845
A red coefficient! A final attack!
